    I dont understand why democrat feel like they pretended there was no one else except Biden - Kamala to be the next president when they had a normal person like Walz. He seems more qualify, energetic, and likeable than Kamala.

      Because Biden wanted to be president again and the incumbent always gets the say. Glad it was different this time.

      Tradition. Tradition is frequently stupid. That’s why they had to sweet-talk Biden into calling off his bid. Granted there are reasons to do it that way, but nobody cares much anymore, they just didn’t want to stick their necks out and be called traitors, even if there was little to no risk of splitting the party.
